Sing dm a song of the old time — “Highland Laddie ” and -Lenny Doer,; Bing to me now in the fading light. For my heart goes back to my youth tonight— Bing me tome dear old tunc. And I will dream as I hear year voice, Sweet and tender, and strong and clear, Lika you moth ts voice, when these songs aba rang. Long ago when we both were young— Yoa are to like her, dear, Take down her harp and tench the string'; Too long, toe long have they silent been. My heart ha* been full of harry and strife And the cate and vrerry of active life I long for the songs again. Sing “ Ye banks and brae- ol Donny Doon Tour mother sang that song to ycu While she rocked you there on her breast to alcep. Dear little daughter do not weep— Sing me he old songs, too. Sing" Logan Water” and "Land o’ the Lesl, T •• Annie Laurie " and "Ranks o’ Dee Dear old tongs that we never loiset, Over my heart they are echoing yet— She sar g them all to me.
